This may be related to attempting to install the beta version (which, if I
recall correctly, is now out of date.)

Download and install a production version of SQL 2005.

Why would you be using SQL Server 2005 beta 2 when the RTM version was
released it in November of Last Year?

I would start out by using the Released Version.

thanks,
